SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Under
section 3(b)(1) of the Act of July 7, 2004,
Public Law 108–270, 118 Stat. 805, the
Secretary of the Interior (Secretary) will
prepare a roll of all individuals who
meet the eligibility criteria established
under the Act and who file timely
applications prior to the date listed in
the DATES section of this Federal
Register notice. The roll will be used as
the basis for distributing the judgment
funds awarded by the Indian Claims
Commission to the Western Shoshone
Identifiable Group of Indians in Docket
No. 326–K. Department of the Interior
regulations at 25 CFR 61.4(k) set out the
eligibility requirements for inclusion on
this roll. To be eligible a person must:

(i) Have at least 1⁄4 degree of Western
Shoshone blood;
(ii) Be living on July 7, 2004;
(iii) Be a citizen of the United States;
and
(iv) Not be certified by the Secretary
to be eligible to receive a per capita
payment from any other judgment fund
based on an aboriginal land claim
awarded by the Indian Claims
Commission, the United States Claims
Court, or the United States Court of
Federal Claims, that was appropriated
on or before July 7, 2004.
The Secretary will use Indian census
rolls prepared by the Agents or
Superintendents at Carson or Western
Shoshone Agencies between the years of
1885 and 1940 and other documents
acceptable to the Secretary in
establishing proof of eligibility of an
individual to be listed on the judgment
roll and receive a per capita payment
under the Western Shoshone Claims
Distribution Act.
In the preamble to the regulation
governing the creation of the roll of
Western Shoshone identifiable group of
Indians for judgment fund distribution,
the Bureau of Indian Affairs set out a
non-regulatory formula for determining
the application deadline. Because that
formula has proven to be
administratively impractical to
administer, the Bureau of Indian Affairs,
in conjunction with tribal leaders and
the Western Shoshone Claims Steering
Committee, has selected an application
deadline that approximates what the
deadline would be under the formula in
the preamble, if that formula had
worked as intended.
The information collection
requirement contained in this notice has
been approved by the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) under
44 U.S.C. 3504(h). The OMB control
number is 1076–0165 and expires on
November 30, 2011. Response is
required to obtain a benefit. An agency
may not sponsor, and you are not
required to respond to, any information
collection that does not display a
currently valid OMB control number.
Dated: May 10, 2010.

Assistant Secretary—Indian Affairs.
